10The first issue was released October 19, 2022. After issue 12, the title was split into two books - ''ComicBook/SpiderBoy'', featuring the young 616 Spider introduced in ''End'', and ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan2023'', returning Otto Octavius to his iconic form.
11----
12!! ''Spider-Man'' (2022) contains the following tropes:
13* AllianceOfAlternates: A recurring theme in ''Spider-Verse'' stories, with Peter's equivalents from many different worlds banding together. [[spoiler:Unfortunately things are different this time, as Noir, Spider-Punk, Ghost Spider, Earth-982's Spider-Woman and others appear, but not to help Peter - they have all been corrupted by Shathra]].
14* EatsBabies: After infecting Spider-Ma'am, Shathra lets her [[spoiler:eat all of the [[DeathOfAChild infant]] Inheritors]].
15* EnemyMine: In ''ComicBook/EndOfTheSpiderVerse'', Morlun teams up with Spider-Man and many of his alternate counterparts to oppose Shathra in this story.
16* FaceMonsterTurn: [[spoiler:Shathra has been infecting and converting Peter's AlternateUniverse counterparts]].
17* LawyerFriendlyCameo: The severed arm that Morlun used to get back to Earth-001 belonged to [[Creator/AmalgamComics Spider-Boy]].
18* OriginsEpisode: Issue #11 functions as one to [[spoiler:Spider-Boy (Bailey Briggs)]], showing how he came to know Spider-Man and became his sidekick.
19* PowerIncontinence: The second storyline, "Maxed Out", has Peter trying to amplify his Spider-Sense after he failed to save a man from a burning building. Instead, it completely overloaded it, driving Peter crazy.
20* PsmithPsyndrome: As established in some earlier stories, Spider-Man can hear when people miss the apostrophe in his name. In the first issue, this prompts a MythologyGag and a rendition of the Hyphen-Man song.
21* {{Retcon}}: New villain Madam Monstrosity is revealed to have been indirectly responsible for the creation of various animal-themed superhumans--namely [[spoiler:the Scorpion, Human Fly, Lizard, Morbius, and Rhino]]--due to the experiments that created them using her human/animal hybridization research; and sabotaged those experiments -- which otherwise would have been successful -- purely out of spite.
22* RetGone: Shathra has a blade that, when used on the Spiders, severs them from the Great Web so thoroughly that they will never have existed. [[spoiler:After Jessica Drew is stabbed in the first issue, Peter himself is stabbed in #3, which ends with him disappearing]].
23* SeriesContinuityError: In #11, the Rhino is listed among the various animal-themed superhumans [[spoiler:to have been created as a byproduct of Madam Monstrosity's human/animal hybridization research... but Aleksei Sytsevich was never a human/animal hybrid, his powers having come from gamma ray bombardment--making him more akin to the Hulk than Spider-Man's other animal-themed villains]].
24* SssssnakeTalk: A variant. Shathra and Nestling have z emphasized, not s, so that they seem to be buzzing, like insects, rather than hissing. [[spoiler:Once his infection and FaceMonsterTurn is revealed, Noir talks the same way]].
25* VillainSong: After Princess Petra is corrupted by Shathra.
26--> '''Web-Weaver:''' She's singing her reprise in a minor [[{{Tonality}} key]].\
27'''Sun-Spider:''' Yeah. Show tune-wise, that's villain music!
28* WhatTheHellHero: "Maxed Out" ends with [[spoiler:Peter - very much not happy with the whole child endangerment thing and annoyed at the boy's apparently flippant attitude towards crime-fighting - blowing up at Spider-Boy and declaring that not only will the kid not be acting as his sidekick, but he is also ''done'' being Spider-Boy entirely]].
